Why doesn't our product images show up in our Google Plus post?
-
When we post links to product pages onto our Google Plus account, the image never shows up in the post. Only the name of the product and our domain name appears. Has anyone experienced this problem or have ideas on how to fix?

Gregory,
We added the appropriate schema info and now images appear perfectly. Thanks!

I checked the AquaFarm page in your image.
My understanding is that G+ prefers to use schema data as it's 1st choice for presenting, but it does not look like you have schema data on your page.
Then it goes for Open Graph data (like Facebook uses) and you do have that. But when I looked at the image linked with your meta property="<a class="attribute-value">og:image</a>" tag it is only 56x56px - which is maybe too small.
I know that the minimum image size has been changing recently, so I do not know exactly what it is right know, but I have been using 300x300px images successfully.
If you want people to be able choose which image to display with their post, you will need "tag" multiple images.
If you want to do Twitter Cards you will need add those tags also and make a 120x120 image for Twitter.
Basically you end up with two sets of pictures: one "visible" set sized properly for your webpages, and one "hidden" set sized properly for you social media accounts.
Hope this helps...

Facebook won't show up in SERP
Hello! One of my clients' Facebook page isn't showing up on the SERP, even when you search "CLIENT NAME facebook" or an excerpt from a live post. Our social media team looked over all the settings in Meta, and everything looks correct, so we are stumped. Anyone encounter this before?

What can Google tell from a video?
I notice that Youtube apparently does kind of an automatic transcription. What can Google tell about a video? Is it comparing text from a voice recognition transcript? Can it take compare the waveform of a video signal and see how different a video is from another video? I'm putting together a variety of videos that are similar for different pages and wondering how much do I have to change for each video. I remember one time I attempted to launch a video that was an exact copy but with a different file name, title and tags and Youtube said, "hey, that's the same video!" Thanks!
